Open Corner guides
Guide to Project Data Management
This guide is designed to help you in the data management of your Laurea projects. When projects generate RDI data, the data itself, its legality, and ownership must be taken care of. Data management helps to do this. The guide also provides basic information on contracts, data protection, data security, and research ethics.
Thesis data management, data protection and research ethics
The guide is intended for both the thesis author and the supervisor as support for the work. It provides help for creating a thesis data management plan and for handling tasks related to data protection practices and research ethics.
Open educational resources
Information on open educational resources, where to find them, how to use them and how to publish them. The guide also explains what are CC licenses and how they are used in the context of open educational resources.
Responsible RDI and learning (TKIO) activity
Responsibility and openness are the starting points for research, development and innovation activities and learning (TKIO), which we implement in practical activities and in cooperation with partners.
